Davis v. Stewart

Opinion of the Court

Kirkpatrick, C. J.

— Said he thought that there was not enough contained in the state of demand filed, to show that the plaintiff below had a lawful cause of action; this is essential to the support of the judgment; we cannot guess out a cause of action for the plaintiff.

The other justices concurred.
